Have you checked the firewalls on the affected machines? Especially Win7 can
be tricky. You might need to both allow whatever program you use to show the
rsync share name to your BPC-server as well as open the port.
I ran into something similar a little while ago.

Subject: [BackupPC-users] Bizarre connection failures
Hello.
I have installed BackupPC 3.2.1 on a FreeBSD server to back several
Windows workstations up. The Xfer method is rsyncd. Some of them
workstations work fine, but three display strange behaviour:
1) One gives "inet connect: Connection refused" though "telnet <IP>
873" from the very same FreeBSD server works just time. BackupPC
managed to make a successful backup of one share (of two) on this
computer once. Not sure what was different.
2) One gives "no ping", then, after making $PingCmd for it empty,
"inet connect: Operation timed out". telnet is successful as well
here; "nmblookup <name>" or "ping -c 1 <IP>" don't show any problems
when run from shell either.
3) The only Windows 7 box (the others are XP). Just plain "inet
connect: Operation timed out", can't connect from any other computer
as well.
To sum up, I have two problems: BackupPC not connecting while
everybody else can, and rsyncd not working properly on Windows 7.
Any help will be strongly appreciated. The bizarre BackupPC failures
are making me question my sanity.
